New reinforcement learning agent tackles symbolic equation solving

Researchers have developed a reinforcement learning agent capable of solving symbolic equations, including complex nonlinear equations and a specific class of restricted-open equations that require a change of variables. The agent utilizes a tree-structured policy (TreeMLP) and learns from rewards alone, demonstrating strong performance on benchmark datasets. While effective on closed equations, its capabilities for open equations are limited to four specific families, with learned change-of-variable timing proving crucial for the exponential family. AI
